Is that a handcuff that Jack Lalanne still had on one wrist?

He looks like just resting, not idling.

PS. I am taking another break from rearranging "stuff" in the rooms upstairs. Need to get back to it soon. Gotta finish it up before travel season starts. Don't want to be too idle, just surfing the Web.

the term "manliness" makes me giggle.

Caring what other people think about your manliness, kills manliness.

This is what the non-working, mostly idle, manly upper classes have been telling everybody who ain't them ever since one cave man found out how to get another cave man to do his work for him.

Whenever I get comments about driving DW's lime green 2002 VW Beetle, I always reply that I'm comfortable with my masculinity, but I can see why they might not want to drive one. At least it's a diesel.

Dick Winters pretty ****ing awesome. Read the book those guys were heros. My FIL served in WW2 what a great man. Not sure if it kills manliness though.

If you actually have true manliness, it can't be killed. Maybe the writer doesn't understand that.
